I’m so tired of the meta-commentary around games, especially with business stuff. It’s the same way I feel about sports - just because you like watching football doesn’t mean you’re qualified to have a ready-to-spout opinion about fucking salary caps or assistant defensive coordinators

Example for us to laugh at?

Hey, I bought an Xbox game once (by accident), so I'm basically an expert in how to run that specific multi-billion dollar corporation

LinkedIn in general sucks massive ass. It’s just the same CEOs and people jerking them off posting/reposting the same lame ass anecdotes and AI insights over and over. There’s no genuine connection or authenticity there. And if you say anything about it you’re in trouble for breaking the illusion.

Outside of needing a new job I can't imagine why you'd want to spend a single second on linked in. Like do you actually socialize on there? For fun?

The corporate cult of LinkedIn. It's a disgusting place.

I took one look at the deluge of 'This is good, actually' in my feed and immediately closed the tab.

Well to be fair.. they hired matthew ball on his bad takes but lots of data so... they could all just be publicly applying for the job to run Xbox...

Insufferable

Was “AI” the cause? Apparently, yes. Anything other than that, is a waste of keystrokes for a programmer.

There are 3 types of people on LinkedIn: 1. the normal people job-searching; 2. The most sociopathic freaks imaginable who talk about how hard it was for them to cut half their workforce today but how excited they are; and 3. the business-astrologist cult whisperer trying to get into the ear of 2.

They all probably have <something> Coach in their profile name and are trying to sell their five page "How to make a million in ten days as an indie developer" e-book, too. Putrid, frustrating, awful. I feel for so many of these folks.

Unrelated, I’m selling my used launch Xbox series x for the low, low price of $550 if anyone wants it
